-eMMC Boot: Apalis T30 1GB V1.0a and V1.1a (Sample)
-eMMC Boot: Apalis T30 2GB V1.0a, V1.0b, V1.0c, V1.0e and V1.1a (Sample)
-***********************************************************************
-
-Initial Preparation:
-- download and extract Apalis_T30_LinuxImageVx.yz.tar.bz2 package with root
-    permissions
-- use any VFAT formatted SD resp. micro D card with at least 1000 MB of free
-    space
-- run update.sh script with -o argument pointing to mount point of
-    above mentioned card
-
-Flash eMMC:
-- EvalBoard V1.0a
-  - depending on JP10/12 connect serial debug console to lower X28 using null
-    modem RS-232 cable resp. X29 using a regular USB cable
-  - insert above prepared SD card into SD/MMC 8bit (X18) or SD/MMC 4bit (X19) socket
-- Ixora V1.0a
-  - connect serial debug console to X22 using null modem RS-232 cable and a
-      10 pin IDC to 9 pin D-sub male connector. (DTK or Intel standard)
-  - insert above prepared micro SD card into micro SD card socket (X10)
-- Boot to U-Boot prompt and start the update:
-  - apply power or reset
-  - hit any key to stop auto booting
-  - if you update from a previous image use the following U-Boot commands:
-    - using SD/MMC 8bit (X18) socket on EvalBoard:
-        setenv drive 1
-        setenv setupdate 'mmc dev ${drive}; mmc rescan; fatload mmc ${drive}:1 ${loadaddr} flash_blk.img; source ${loadaddr}'
-        saveenv
-    - using SD/MMC 4bit (X19) socket on EvalBoard or micro SD card socket (X10) on Ixora:
-        setenv drive 2
-        setenv setupdate 'mmc dev ${drive}; mmc rescan; fatload mmc ${drive}:1 ${loadaddr} flash_blk.img; source ${loadaddr}'
-        saveenv
-  - use 'run setupdate' U-Boot command and then
-  - use 'run update' U-Boot command unless you are updating from an older image
-    in which case:
-    - use 'run update_uboot' command and power cycle or reset and hit any key
-      to stop auto booting
-    - use 'env default -a' command followed by 'saveenv' command
-    - power cycle or reset again and hit any key to stop auto booting
-    - use 'run setupdate' U-Boot command and then
-    - use 'run migrate_v2.3b2' U-Boot command
-
-Boot from eMMC:
-- EvalBoard V1.0a or Ixora V1.0a
-- power cycle
-- upon first boot post-install scripts are run which takes around 2 minutes,
-    please be patient
-
-If the boot loader on the module got corrupted this recovers it by loading U-Boot
-  over USB into the module's RAM and executing it there:
-- EvalBoard V1.0a
-  - connect USB micro A/B (X49) or USB B (X50) to development workstation using
-      micro or regular USB cable
-  - connect serial debug console as stated above
-- Ixora V1.0a
-  - connect USB micro A/B (X9) to development workstation using regular micro USB
-      cable
-  - make sure JP2 is removed and nothing is connected to the lower USB host port
-      X8
-  - for more information please consult Ixora datasheet section 3.3 and chapter 4
-  - connect serial debug console as stated above
-- have the module in recovery mode and load U-Boot over USB to the module's RAM:
-  - lsusb should show a '0955:7130 NVidia Corp.' device if the module is in recovery mode
-  - run ./update.sh -d
-  - stop at the U-Boot prompt and begin the update as stated above
